Based on the search results, here is a summary of information about family nail products:
Ingredients or Materials
- Nail polishes often include a combination of film formers, plasticizers, resin, solvent-extender, pigments, and suspending agents.
- Some nail products contain resins that form a strong coating on the nails, rather than hardening the nails themselves. For example, toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR) is used in some nail polishes to make the coating tough and resilient. TSFR also helps the polish adhere to the nail, adds gloss, and helps the product flow well when applied. There is evidence that some people may become allergic to TSFR.
- Lily and Fox nails are 100% vegan, non-toxic, and cruelty-free. They are 10-free, which means they don’t include the ten most toxic ingredients that are found in nail polish. You won’t find dibutyl phthalate, TPHP, toluene, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, parabens, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in Lily and Fox nails.
- Nail polish ingredients have undergone review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, which uses peer-reviewed scientific literature to determine safety.
Positive
- Lily and Fox nails have a protective layer built into their nails to prevent nail damage. Because of this layer, the nail wraps simply pull off of the nail without the need for acetone or other harsh chemicals.
- Emosa Nail Polish for Kids is a great option if you are looking for 100% non-toxic nail polish. It is chemical-free, low odor, and comes in fun colors.
Negative
- Revlon nail polish has a score of 3 and 6 on the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetic database, which is in the moderately hazardous category. However, with ingredients like aluminum powder, it’s still on the no-go list.
- Karma Kid’s Nail Polish is another great option for kids, but it does tend to have a stronger smell than other non-toxic polishes.
- Some nail products contain potentially harmful ingredients. For example, some nail ingredients are harmful when swallowed, but not when used on the nails, because the nail is a barrier, which prevents absorption. Other nail products contain resins that form a strong coating on the nails, rather than hardening the nails themselves. There is evidence that some people may become allergic to TSFR.
In summary, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients in nail products, especially if you have allergies or sensitivities. Lily and Fox nails are a good option for those looking for non-toxic and cruelty-free nail products. Emosa Nail Polish for Kids is a great option for children. It is also important to use nail products safely, following labeled directions and paying attention to any warning statements.
